Coloured pencils

I started experementing more with coloured pencils. I found them pretty hard to use at first because I'm used to the different variations of pencils from H numbers to B numbers whereas coloured pencils are all the same and very hard. This made shading a different experience to what I'm used to.


This was one of my first attempts at using coloured pencils. It is quite obvious that I had a problem with shading, and getting the confidence to press harder and make stronger marks.



This was a later attempt. I started to accept that the coloured pencils wern't going to meraculously become softer and so started to make bolder marks. I'm quite pleased with the results of this. I perticulary like the fact that I havn't over used the coloured pencil, just using it to sugest the colour on the animal.
